[Coral-List] Trading Reef Destruction For Progress

[Alevizon, William Stephen]

Phil Dustan is 100% correct (literally) when he wrote that in Florida, you “can't  chalk this one up to global warming or climate change”

As this alarming report published last Sunday in the Miami Herald notes, there is now, and has been since 2010, an active campaign in Florida to vigorously censor the use of such terms (climate change, global warming, sea level rise) within regulatory and other state agencies in Florida.

Essentially, developers and corporate interests now own the State of Florida and its natural resources.  Environmental “solutions” according to our Governor are limited to things like beach re-nourishment to protect landowners who built over the dune, and elimination of those darn “burdensome regulations” that “endanger” corporate profits.
